Discuss 100amp fuse 16mm tails in the Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Are you sure that it is a 100 amp fuse fitted, and not just what the label says on the holder?
why no upgrade of tails ?There are masses of homes with 100A fuses and 16mm tails.
Thats why I nearly always leave them in place
why no upgrade of tails ?
The requirements changed starting about 1980 IIRC shortly following the standardisation on 100A main fuse. Before then 40A 60A and 80A fuses were all common (increasing in holders marked 100A) and many meters were only rated for 60A or 80A. 15th Edition followed as did upgrade of bonding and earthing conductors. Objective was rumoured to be to cut the number of blown main fuses following the widespread takeup of electric showers.
Connect a length of 16mm² tails to the output of a good welding set. Turn the current to 300A+ and see what happens. It’s boring!
What happens?
